A method is disclosed. For example, the method executed by a processor of a multi-function device (MFD) includes generating an alignment image based on execution of a copy function while an alignment mark is attached to a continuous velocity transport (CVT) platen glass of a CVT of the MFD, determining a misalignment of an illumination profile area, a position of a sensor, and the CVT based on the alignment image, and providing a corrective action to perform an alignment of at least one of the illumination profile area, the position of the sensor, and the CVT via a display of the MFD.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the alignment mark comprises opposing markings to detect skew of the position of the sensor.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein a first marking of the opposing markings is angled from a top left corner towards a right center and a second marking of the opposing markings is angled from a bottom left corner towards the right center.
4. The method of claim 2, wherein the alignment mark comprises a chevron.
5. The method of claim 2, wherein the alignment image comprises lines across a width of a substrate.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the location of the DADH backer footings is determined by placing a marker along outer edges of the platen glass of the CVT and closing the CVT to allow the DADH backer footings to leave an impression on the marker.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the alignment mark is printed on a substrate and coupled to the CVT platen glass.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the alignment mark is generated via a clear display coupled to the CVT platen glass.
11. The MFD of claim 10, wherein the alignment mark comprises opposing markings to detect skew of the position of the sensor.
12. The MFD of claim 11, wherein a first marking of the opposing markings is angled from a top left corner towards a right center and a second marking of the opposing markings is angled from a bottom left corner towards the right center.
13. The MFD of claim 11, wherein the alignment mark comprises a chevron.
14. The MFD of claim 11, wherein the alignment image comprises lines across a width of a substrate.
16. The MFD of claim 10, wherein the alignment mark is printed on a substrate and coupled to the CVT platen glass.
19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein the alignment mark comprises a chevron.
